Two youth earn religious Scouting award

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Two St. Nicholas parishioners earned religious awards in the Scouting movement over the summer.

Father Joseph Repko, the pastor, presented the Marian Medal to Senior Girl Scout Margie Swanney. The medal is earned by completing the program booklet, “Mary, the First Disciple.”

Father Repko also presented Cub Scout Nicholas Swanney with the Light of Christ religious medal, which is the first religious medal that can be earned by Cub Scouts of both Eastern and Western Catholic backgrounds.
